Conclusions: The LAML approach
In conclusion
Using LAML, the source of a WWW document is a program in Scheme
A functional programming language is much better for our purposes than an imperative programming language
Lisp can be used successfully as a markup language
There is a tradeoff between 'pains' (using Lisp syntax and handling errors) and 'gains' (abstraction and automation)
Homogeneous syntactic conventions for all future LAML document styles should be considered
Modern functional programming languages would push on the type system in order to ensure grammatical correctness
In the Lisp world flexibility and pragmatic solutions are more important than static type checking
I write all my WWW pages in LAML
Via definitions of appropriate document styles my own productivity is increasing
